Biogas from anaerobic digestion of organic matter is a promising renewable energy source and fuel cells
appear as a breakthrough technology to improve the performance of the biogas-to-energy valorisation
chain. The vast majority of studies addressing biogas energy recovery through Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
published in recent years correspond to simulations and lab-scale performance with synthetic biogas.
This paper assesses the pilot performance of a 2.8 kWe SOFC unit powered with cleaned sewage biogas
for around 700 h in a Wastewater Treatment Plant.
